The Leader in
Medical and Hazardous Waste
Technologies

Medical
Innovations Inc. has been specializing in alternative medical
waste and hazardous waste technologies since 1994.

Medical
Waste Machine

Converts
regulated medical waste into ordinary non-regulated waste.
Medical waste must be eliminated on a regular basis which is determined
by each individual state regulation. The neutralized waste is not bound
by these regulations and can be thrown out with ordinary trash.

Reduces
waste costs. Savings of as much as 90% per year
for practices and facilities of all sizes. This system eliminates the
need to resort to expensive licensed haulers and mail-back services.

Improves
infection control.The onsite storage of hazardous wastes for
weeks
or months awaiting removal poses a risk of infection, which can result
in legal liability. Both of these risks are eliminated when wastes are
immediately converted to ordinary waste.

Reduces
the threat of costly ongoing liability. Under most state
regulations and in legal case precedent the medical practice remains
legally liable for medical waste produced onsite even after it is
removed and processed by licensed haulers. This exposure to liability
can only be eliminated by waste neutralization onsite.

Environmentally
responsible. The waste never leaves the premises while
hazardous and is reduced in size by 75% thereby substantially lowering
its environmental impact.

The
sharps are either:
(a) Dropped directly into
the locked Teflon-lined metal container, called the transporter which
has a clear safety tube at the top for inserting the medical waste. When
the machine’s container is filled with waste
to the indicated line, a few inexpensive special high temperature
plastic discs are placed in the transporter.

or(b)
Dropped into disposable sharps containers When the disposable
container's contents reaches the designated fill line, it is capped,
locked and placed in the machine and one inexpensive indicator
disc is added.

The
machince is locked and switched on. During
processing the waste and the machine's container are sterilized at very
high
temperature. Only at this very high temperature will the discs melt and
encapsulate the waste, which will already have been physically
destroyed by the heat. The plastic discs are not only the encapsulating
medium but are also a bio-physical indicator that sterilization and
destruction has occurred. The final result is a sterile unrecognizable
amorphous block which has reduced in size by
approximately
75% during sterization and encapsulation. This resultant block
is
non-regulated waste and can be disposed of in the regular trash
receptacle.
